An organization has a mixed environment of Ubuntu 20.04 and CentOS 8 hosts. They need to install the 'nginx' package and ensure the service is running. The playbook must be idempotent and avoid using distribution-specific modules. Which task set is the most appropriate?

yum: name=nginx state=present, then service: name=nginx state=started

command: 'apt-get install nginx' or 'yum install nginx' based on ansible_os_family

package: name=nginx state=present, then service: name=nginx state=started enabled=yes

apt: name=nginx state=present, then service: name=nginx state=started

A team uses Ansible to manage the 'named' DNS service. They need to add a new zone definition to /etc/named.conf and ensure the service is reloaded without dropping existing queries. The zone file is already in place. Which approach is best?

Use command to append the zone to named.conf, then service: name=named state=restarted

Use copy to overwrite named.conf with the new zone, then service: name=named state=reloaded

Use blockinfile to insert the zone block, then service: name=named state=reloaded

Use lineinfile to add the zone line, then service: name=named state=restarted
